COMBINED COVER AND PUMP FOR OlrL-BARRELS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,858, datedSeptember 17, 1889.

Application led June 7, 1889. Serial No. 313,483. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEE J. SPANe-LER, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of York, in the county of York and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Covers andPumps for Oil-Barrels; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form apart of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof the top of an oil-barrel, showing my combination pump and cover inposition ready for use. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View through themiddle of the cover, showing the hood or pumpcover thrown back in itsopen position. Fig. 3 is a similar View showing the hood or pumpcover inits closed position, and Fig. et is a transverse sectional view on line.fr in Fig. 2. v Like letters of reference denote corresponding parts inall the iigures.

This invention relates to devices for pumping oil from the originalpackage in stores where the oil is retailed; and it consists in thedetailed construction and combination of parts of the combinedbarrel-cover and oilpump, which will be 'hereinafter more fully.described and claimed.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, the letter Adesignates an oil-barrel, on the end of which is placed my improvedcover and pump, a hole of suitable size having been bored through thebarrel-head for the insertion of the pump-barrel. The cover and pumpconsists of a circular disk or plate B,having an annular rim or flangeprojecting upwardly and downwardly from plato B, its downwardlyprojecting or depending part c being connected to the under side ofplate B by an annular rim-plate D, so as to form a bevel d on the underside of plate B, adapt-ed to iit over the top of the barrel. Thisrim-plate D also serves to re-enforce and strengthen the joint betweenthe horizontal plate B and its vertical iiange C.

In the center of the plate B is a circular aperture E, encircled by adownwardly-projecting collar F,and ofsuch dimensions that the pumpbarrel G may be inserted loosely through it. On one side of thisaperture is a transverse plate or bridge Il, the middle part of whichhas a bulge or proj ecting part h, covering and protecting the upwardextension f of the central sleeve or collar F, the top of which isfurther braced and re-enforced by the top plate I, which connects theupper edge of the bridge II with the back part of liange O, said topplate I being provided with a forwardly-projeciing lip 7l, having anopening for the insertion of the upper end of collar f. The lower partof the shield or bulge h has a series of apertures c, which areconnected to corresponding apertures in the inner sleeve f by shorttubes g, by which the drip which accumulates in the bottom of the panformed by the disk B and its iiange O is conducted into the centraldepending sleeve or collar and through it down into the barrel.

To the upper edge of the bridge H, where this is joined to the top plateor segment I t, is hinged the hood or pump-cover J, the iiat back K ofwhich, when the cover is open, rests upon the top plate I in theposition illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. This iiat back K,which is then in a horizontal position, is provided with a rim ortia-nge 7c, projecting at right angles parallel to the hinge, so as toform, when the cover is open, a flat and shallow pan L, adapted toreceive the drip when the pump is turned in the position indicated indotted lines-tl e., with the spout overlapping the pan. By turning thepump into this position while carrying the cover from onc tank or barrelto another, pau L will temporarily receive the drip which wouldotherwise iiow through the apertures c and sleeve F down on the floor.After the cover has been placed in its proper position over a freshbarrel, the drip may be emptied back into the pan simply by turning thehinged hood or cover J back into its closed position.

The removable pump lli may be a liftingpump of any approvedconstruction, and forms no part of my present invention, except in itscombination with the barrel-cover, of which it forms a removable part.It should be of such size, however, that it may be inserted looselythrough the central sleeve or collar F f, and is provided with the usualspoutN and handle O.

Having thus described my invention, I claim IOO and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States- 1. The combination of thebarrel-cover B,

having annular flange C, beveled re-enforengplate D and central collar Fjbridge H, having the shield or bulge h,provided with duets leading intothe central oollar, fixed top plate I, having lip t', and hinged hood J,having flange 7c, whereby a shallow pan L is formed, substantially asand for the purpose herein shown and set forth.

2. The combination of the barrel-cover B, constructed as described andhaving the central sleeve F f,the hinged hood J ,having rim or flange7c, adapting it to form a shallow pan i 5 L, and the removable pump,substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and set forth.

In testimony that 1 olaim the foregoing as my own I have hereuntoaffixed my signature zo in presence of two witnesses.

LEE J. SPANGLER.
